Castrol SRF is holding up well. Pedal still gets slightly soft after a couple of 20 minute sessions, but a quick brake bleed during the lunch break fixes that.
I really just need to upgrade the brakes, but more important things keep taking precedence over the car.
Still amazed that I can drive it to the track, wail on it all day in 100F heat, and drive home with 95K miles on the car. I always wonder which track day will be the last for the stock motor, but it keeps on ticking. Stock boost levels, high altitude, and diligent maintenance probably have a lot to do with that.

Currently debating between X calipers and a custom Wilwood Aero6 setup. X calipers would be the right choice for a smart person, so I'll probably end up with the Aero6 setup.
255 Hankook R-S4s, switching to 275 RC-1s as soon as I can finish dealing with all of the clearance issues. Currently dealing with interference at the back of the wheel well. Either need to remove all of my additional caster at the top plates or get some adjustable lower arms to move the wheel forward.
The ST47s are holding up okay. Previously, the fluid was my problem.
The air deflector piece that mounts to the suspension? I've been wondering if those actually work or if they're too insignificant to make a difference. Maybe I'll try them out.

Cleared up a couple issues stopping me from getting parts in. Chase flagged my Nengun order yesterday but now a Blitz intercooler is on the way. I also had ordered some gloss black ZE40s last week but the order got hung up. After some time on the phone with them today we had to check stock in Japan but at the end of it a set of 18x12 ZE40s in Mag Blue were ordered up. I was back and forth between gloss black and mag blue so I guess the universe decided for me. Now I only have to wait 6-9 weeks for all my overnight parts from Japan.
